A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us

- Timed around your day
- No surprises: everything in writing

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Sides make a proper lunch.

- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
